Conservation strategies

This publication reflects on and reinforces the lessons and experience of undertaking transboundary conservation programmes and sets out some existing and new guidance for those involved. It proposes a diagnostic approach to determining what the underlying purpose is for the transboundary initiative, and to guide the practitioner to respond to this purpose and need when the programme is designed and implemented.

This publication is intended to raise awareness amongst all stakeholders and galvanise wider action to boost drylands conservation and development. The book is designed to inform and remind us of the beauty of dryland biodiversity and its intrinsic and instrumental value. It demonstrates the mutual dependency of dryland biological and cultural diversity.

Cette presentation est destinee a fournir les donnees theoriques, pratiques et previsionnelles du resultat potentiel a long-terme d’un programme de conservation de la biodiversite mene sur un site minier. La mine d’ilmenite de Rio Tinto au sud-est de Madagascar, exploitee par QIT Madagascar Minerals (Rio Tinto QMM), a ete choisie comme site pilote pour tester les outils destines a atteindre et a quantifier l’impact positif net (IPN) sur la biodiversite.

Esta publicacion tiene como objetivo proporcionar los datos, las teorias y las previsions para el posible resultado a largo plazo de un programa de conservacion de la biodiversidad en un sitio minero. La mina de ilmenita de Rio Tinto en el sudeste de Madagascar, operada por QIT Madagascar Minerals (Rio Tinto QMM), ha sido seleccionada como sitio piloto para comprobar las herramientas disenadas para lograr y cuantificar el impacto neto positivo (INP) sobre la biodiversidad.

This publication aims to provide the data, theory, and predictions for the potential long-term outcome of a biodiversity conservation programme at a mining site. The Rio Tinto ilmenite mine in southeastern Madagascar, run by QIT Madagascar Minerals (Rio Tinto QMM), has been chosen as a pilot site to test the tools designed to achieve and quantify net positive impact (NPI) on biodiversity.

This publication presents innovative ways that have been used to influence policy processes, from community pressure groups through elected and unelected leaders, to scientific discourse at the levels of directors of economic planning and conservation. The book analyzes experiences from a variety of conservation interventions by IUCN and other agencies, primarily in Eastern Africa, and challenges the notion of policymaking as a cyclical process.

Le présent document souligne brièvement certains des effets et influences majeurs de ces résolutions sur la conservation de la nature.

This paper briefly highlights some of the major impacts and influences that these resolutions have had on conservation. It is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to focus attention on some of the most significant issues that the IUCN Membership has addressed, working together with IUCN's six Commissions (on Species, Protected Areas, Environmental Law, Ecosystem Management, Communications and Education, and Environmental, Economic and Social Policy) and supported by IUCN's Secretariat.
